More than 100 cormorants recently gathered at the waters of a riverway in Korla city, Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture of northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, showcasing the ecological beauty of the locality. Meanwhile, a large number of waterfowl have been spotted at wetlands in the Midong district of Urumqi city, the regional capital.

In recent years, Xinjiang has made vigorous efforts to build a green city and boost the city’s ecological barriers, all while exploring ways to make innovative uses of water resources.
